Laceyville
Messenger notice: My wife Loretta ROSE having left my bed and board without
just cause or provocation. I hereby forbid all persons trusting or harboring
her on my account as I will pay no bills contracted by her after this date.
Claude ROSE.There is a breach in the
ROSE family but just the nature of the trouble Claude fails to take the public
in with hin on. Ancient history has it that John ROSENGRANT years and years ago
married one Maria PALMER out in Forkston Township and among the fruits of that
marriage was one George ROSENGRANT.George then took a wife, Cora SPENCER and to them were added children
and troubles. George purchased a house and lot out in Forkston and was visited
by his cousin, Raymond PALMER and then the troubles doubled.Raymond PALMER removed to South Mountain
making a home there for himself and Cora Spencer ROSENGRANT and Loretta
ROSENGRANT, an offspring of George and Cora. The Scranton Republican published
what purported to be a fac simile of the bargain entered into between the
cousins, George and Raymond for the wife and that signed document was in the
shape of a receipt for the deal of $2 and "thro in the child" and
Loretta ROSENGRANT was the "throw in".Loretta grew up wild in Noxen and at the age of 13 years she
loved not too wisely, Claude ROSE a youth of 22 summers and winters and Claude
took to the high grass and the woods. Meanwhile Father George had come over to
Tunkhannock bringing along with him a native lady from Manitoba and they made
much local history, later separating and George wooed and won one of the young
damsels of Tunkhannock township and located in Little Africa, out in Third
Ward.When his daughter Loretta was
wanting to find Claude ROSE a warrant was issued and placed in the hands of
Charles VAUGHN as a special officer to execute it.

They
attempted to track him in the woods around Forkston township, then Officer
James P. HARPE was issued an alias warrant to go after him and found him. He
was brought into Judge BARDWELL's office and met by Mr & Mrs George
ROSENGRANT, Loretta ROSENGRANT and baby ROSE.After much discussion a marriage license was issued with father George
consenting in the marriage of his 14 year old daughter to Claude ROSE, 23. They
were married by Judge BARDWELL. This was the 2nd day of July 1906. Claude later
took again to the woods and they separated.

One of the
reliable citizens of West Tunkhannock is Owen MADEEN (MADDEN) who has resided
in this country for 47 years, 45 of which were passed in Wyoming County.He was born in the county of Slago, Ireland
in the year 1842 and landed in Castle Garden, NY on the last day of July 1860
going over to Rockaway, LI for the rest of that summer then came to Carbondale,
then Luzerne County in 1861. At

Pittston
in 1866 he married to Sarah COOK a native of Susquehanna County and they came
to live in the Third Ward.To Mr &
Mrs Owen MADDEN have been born eleven children all of whom save one living to
grow up into useful people the majority of the young people being young
ladies.For the greater part of the
active life he has been in the employ of the Lehigh Valley RR.

only during their lives, and George E. PRYOR nothing until after the death of
THOMPSON at which time he shall receive one eight of the estate, provided the
death of THOMPSON shall not occur before 1926. But should THOMPSON die before
